MFWC d:\path\config
MFWC d:\path
With no parameters, MFWC runs using the default configuration in the current directory.
If a configuration file is specified (optionally with a relative or absolute path), then that
directory/file will be used instead. UNC filenames are also supported.
If you wish to specify just a directory but still use the default configuration name, ensure that
there is trailing slash on the config name, otherwise the parser will use the 'last' folder name
as the configuration file name.
In operation, MFWC displays basic system activity. F10 or Alt-X will terminate the program.
6.1.1.2 System Service
MFWC can also install itself and run as a system service. In this case, there is no visible
output, but the program can be set to run at start-up with no user logged in. The service will
also be automatically terminated when the system is shutdown.
A local or remote copy of MFW can communicate with it for program set-up.
Service commands: MFWC -install config
MFWC -install path\config
MFWC -install \\machine\path\config
MFWC -install d:\path\config
MFWC -remove
MFWC -stop
MFWC -start
These commands control the operation of MFWC as a system service.
The -install switch will install and automatically start the service (and it will restart on the next
boot). Ensure a valid configuration is supplied, otherwise the program will use the default
configuration name in the same directory as the program itself.
The -remove switch will stop the service and remove it from the system table.
The -start and -stop switches will start and stop an installed service. These can be useful for
software upgrades; the service can be stopped, the .exe updated, then restarted.
This program will also be available to run on Linux systems - see MFWL for more details.
